Is Same-Sex Marriage Battle Behind Attack On Hawaiian Churches?
Could the legal attack be tied to the churches’ outspoken support for biblical marriage?
ADF has called for the case to be dismissed, citing failure to meet detailed requirements of the statute the suit is built on.

The Evangelical Work Ethic
Forget Weber. We don’t need social science to know that God cares about our work
Our culture’s hunger for meaning and dignity in everyday work is a window through which Christians can shine the light of the gospel. No civilization can grow and flourish when its people spend the vast majority of their waking hours in an activity they find meaningless. The deepest root of our economic crisis is that...

Islamists Storm Coptic Wedding – 4 Dead and 8 Injured
A Christian wedding ceremony in Cairo the target of terrorism
On one hand, the military can continue to demonize the Muslim Brotherhood and other Muslim “extremists”, for persecuting Christians (all the while looking the other way).

Fighting on Two Fronts: Biblical Belief under Siege at Home and Abroad
Only a small percentage of Muslims condone violence against Christians, but this small percentage equates to millions of Muslims.
With the zeal of a convert who has bitterly experienced Islam from the inside, Darwish called Islam a “top-heavy” religion without “confidence in itself” and an “insane and dysfunctional culture” that is “consumed with anger and envy.” “Peace is not an option” with a faith sacrificing the human rights of all, including women and children, for...

One of the main elements of ‘Breaking Bad,’ perhaps the driving element, was the destructive and ultimate dehumanizing effects of sin
I do believe that the series artfully and successfully depicted the “wages of sin” for a culture that is often uninterested in the consequences of real and present personal evil.
